Mu Dong Kung Fu is the traditional Taoist martial art of China. Also known as Wu Dang, the name refers to the mountain regions of Hubei province, where the original Taoist temples were first constructed.
The James Merolillo Training Studio is one school in a family of martial art schools. We teach Mu Dong Kung Fu as taught to us by the legendary Grandmaster Sam Wong of Toronto, Canada, the founder of Mu Dong Kung Fu in Canada and the United States of America.
Our style involves two philosophies of development. The external element includes forms, development of the physical body through strengthening and coordination of mind and body, and the art of self defense. The internal element involves Nui Gung, the development of the body's internal energy pathways through supervised exercises in conjunction with the mastering of specific forms at the appropriate stages of one's development.
